CHILLICOTHE - More work is ahead for city leaders as officials look for ways to boost revenue after lagging behind in income tax collections this year.

City Auditor Luke Feeney told city council members Monday evening during a budget review session that the city is $23,466 behind where it was a year ago as of April 30, but he vowed to do whatever he could to find ways to increase revenue for the city. Officials had projected an increase in income tax revenue, but that hasn't been seen so far, Feeney said.
